METEOROLOGICAL REPORT.

THE mild weather that set in towards the end of March, continued during the first fortnight of April, the Thermometer ranging generally between 40 and 55, with a good deal of sunshine, and gentle though variable winds. The Barometer stood considerably above the average height, and the Hygrometer, especially about the 10th, indicated great dryness, owing chiefly to a brisk wind that blew for some days from the north west. On the 13th the wind shifted to the east, when a considerable reduction of temperature took place; the Barometer sunk, and a fall of rain commenced, which continued, with short intervals of fair weather, till the 21st. In the course of these nine days, there fell about 4 inches, a greater quantity than we ever before witnessed in the same time. From the time that the rain began, the Thermometer sunk, during the night, towards the freezing point, and continued to do so till the 28th, when the air recovered its former mildness. The last nine days of the month were still drier than the first fortnight had been, with a coldish east wind, and the Barometer higher. The mean temperature of the month is 4 degrees higher than that of April 1818, and spring water 34 degrees higher. Of course, vegetation is much farther advanced than it was last year at this period. The mean point of deposition is 2 degrees lower than the mean minimum temperature, which is a smaller difference than usual for the month of April. The difference between the mean of the extreme temperatures, and that of 10 and 10, is considerably less than one-tenth of a degree, and the mean relative humidity is not half a degree more than that of March. The range of the Thermometer has been greater, and that of the Barometer less than usual. The month, upon the whole, has been favourable to the operations of the farmer, except where clay soils have been run together by the sudden transition from wet to dry; but the depression of temperature which accompanied the rain, tended to check vegetation, which is only beginning to recover.
